Background Information:
The Railyard is a restaurant and bar that has been open since 2011 and received a 1 year CUP at that time with a condition that live music was limited to the indoor stage until 10 pm.
In 2012 the Commission adjusted the music condition to allow music until 2 am and approved the CUP for 1 year.
In 2013 the 2 am music condition remained, and the Commission approved the CUP for 1 year since the permit had been expired for 1 month.
In 2014 the Commission approved a three (3) year CUP with the 2 am music condition remaining.
In 2019 the applicant requested the music condition be removed because they had constructed an outdoor stage. The Commission approved the CUP, removing the music condition, for 1 year to allow the applicant time to receive a approval for their fire pit which was installed without a permit and due to the 2-year lapse in renewal.
In April of 2024 the Commission approved a six (6) month CUP approval.
